LETTER: See Something Say Something Worked

April 23, 2013

I founded Kid Protection Network on the princples of everyday citizens raising their awareness of events around them where kids are concerned and if you have a suspicion a child is in distress call 911.

The homeowner in the Boston area whose boat concealed one of the Boston Marathon terrorist did what Homeland Security suggested, what KPN advocates, see something use your cellphone, you phone, call 911, get help rolling. One person sets a backpack pack bomb down. Respectfully, I won't repeat what happened we know that all too well by now. One citizen sees something suspicious around his boat, calls 911. The heroes in uniform searched intensely for this monster. One person sees something, says something, Boston and surrounding communities can starting the healing process. We are a partnership. A community.

We are a United States of America. We stand for something decent and caring, helpful when asked to do so. Now, we take what we have learned and take notice of what goes on around us. Pro-active, prevention, peace.
